Rabbit Ranch Central Otago Pinot Noir 2019
- Lightly oaked
- Fruity
- Gun smoke
- Fine structure
"A noticeable concentration of red berry aromas with red and purple cherry, raspberry and plum. Aromas of light brown baking spices and mild toasty barrel moments add complexity depth. Fleshy and quite juicy on the palate with salivating acidity and tannins then fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet. Well made, still quite youthful, but read to enjoy from late 2020 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Nov 2020
"Sweetly fruited and delightfully fragrant, the wine shows dark cherry, strawberry, thyme, roasted nut and floral aromas on the nose. It's succulent and fleshy on the palate, offering bright fruit flavours backed by silky tannins, making it instantly appealing and drinkable. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2020
"A bright, fresh-looking wine with distinctive pinot varietal personality. It has minerally and reductive dimensions adding extra interest to a kernel of spiced cherry and rhubarb fruit. It's silky and light in the mouth, with attractive intensity flowing seamlessly through a soft, dry finish" Ralph Kyte-Powell, Real Review, Jan 2021
This 2018 Rabbit Ranch is a classic Central Otago Pinot Noir, vibrant and fruity with a soft tail. A bright-eyed red with hints of briar patch and a whiff of gun smoke. The wine is made in a fruit forward, easy drinking style. Lightly oaked and gently handled to display the lively fruit flavours and fine structure of Central Otago Pinot Noir.
The Central Otago High Country of New Zealand is over-run with rabbits. Sheep and rabbits coexisted on the land for some time but the sheep couldn't keep up with the nocturnal activity of the rabbits. In the end they were hopelessly outnumbered and driven off the land- they were last seen heading north. The owner of the Rabbit Ranch - Mr. MacGregor, tried unsuccessfully to reduce the rabbit population by selling rabbit pies. Eventually he decided to plant some vines and make a decent Pinot Noir to go with all the rabbit pie he was eating.
